lyrics

Fight like hell for the living
Free thought, free will, free spirit
Versus Fixed outcomes and received wisdom
Curse the efficiency of rigged systems
The rich cash in with
Clockwork precision
Want control of every facet of our lives living
While they sedate some
Kill the rest
We represent free untamed wilderness
What some kill inside themselves
To Gain success
Spark the dro, light the cess
I’m your cultural architect
Specializing in catharsis
Don’t ignore the effects
of structural violence
Our hands are tied
Who tied them
We are the perfect crime
The effects of our actions
Won’t be felt in our lifetimes
Actions today
Could Sever our children’s life line

Reached the apex,
Connect the dots
Eclipse the plateau,
Respect the chaos
Don’t try to break us
We’ll be off your radar
We’ll flip and explode
Go hard until the graveyard

Blow the whistle on the system,
Not your brothers and sisters
Don’t take part in 21st century lynching
White supremacist private prisons
Forgot that community is shared difference,
Not enforced sameness
Well go an eye for an eye til annihilation
But extinction is not by trial basis
No Chance fluctuation
These are man-made changes
Resource extraction
Leads to devastation
Hand-wringing and denial leads to
Deforestation
Resource concentration,
Leads to confrontation, and conflagration
Risk it all, taking big chances
Win by any means
Not running the race backwards
For too long
Been bound to serve as slaves to the law
Under owners’ control
The state serving the wealthy since Hammurabi’s code
Now the world’s policeman has gone rogue
Americas got the earth in an illegal choke-hold
Market seeks exponential growth
Globes Heating up but somehow our blood runs cold
